Downes, Crediton, English country house in Crediton Hamlets, United Kingdom.
The Palladian-style mansion features red brick construction, a slate roof, and symmetrical design with a central staircase and end stacks.
The Gould family purchased the Downes estate in 1692, with Moses Gould initiating a significant period of ownership that lasted several generations.
The estate reflects the living standards of English gentry, incorporating architectural elements that demonstrate the social hierarchy of 18th-century Devon.
The estate spans 1,400 acres, including Home Farm, Fordton Barton, Uton Barton, Dunscombe Farm, and additional parkland areas.
Near the mansion lies a Roman villa site, identified through crop marks revealing a rectangular enclosure with a winged-corridor structure.
